deny that any pleasure or entertainment extracted from any pointless stupid art is from the brain's clumsy fumbling around and fucking up trying to comprehend it. We all have brains, and that's the only reason stuff is interesting. So it follows that the MOST entertaining thing would be something that forces the brain to fumble around all confused trying to figure out what the hell is going on the most.
Consider patterns in music. The FASTER these patterns go in time, the quicker the brain has to fire to keep up with understanding it. (also if they change the changes have to be understood). In addition to speed, MULTIPLE patterns at once forces the brain to comprehend 2 things simultaneously, therefore maximizing entertainment.
Make some crappy beat like this: o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o--- Ever notice that on this pattern, strikes of sound that go by simultaneously based on groups of three sound the most interesting?
0--0--0 right on the top, this is because the brain is comprehending 2 patterns, the one based on 4 and the one based on three. I'll shut up now because this is pointlessly uninteresting and I hate writing.

Like I just played mario's "the lost levels" and there is a level 5-4, a main castle, where you can just run like hell and make it if your brain tells your hands to push the buttons (have the correct reactions/reflexes) at the right times. When you have to run fast in this case, the screen flies by and you have to think and mentally respond QUICKLY (this is like tempo in music) Now they could include a simultaneous pattern/goal to make the brain think of something else simultaneously... like maybe you have to juggle a little screen of missle command in a lower window and the mario level at the same time! That'd be wickedly hard, I'd never leave the indoors (I don't anyway). That'd be clumsy of course, I'm sure there's better ways of doing stuff like this if it's thought out, but since I can't program videogames, it's pointless to even think about it.

i had a game like that, i cant remember the name or pretty much anything about it but i do remember it made my brain think mass amounts per second, and my reflexes were tested way beyond there limit, quite fun, just like going down a hill as fast as you can on a skateboard right at oncuming traffic, cause you have to pick your path within a split second or you are going to get creamed.

Hmm a comparison to an... actual thing to do in... real life is interesting. Perhaps there are a few things that are fun in that world of mass and physical things, ... probably not though, no sense trying it. I wish you remembered the name, well doom2 was quite thinky, especially the master levels. That's fun shit, better than walking around outside or being with human beings. That's why we like to be entertained too, it's all based on our evolution dealing with other interactive replicas of ourselves. That's why computers are so interactive and fun, I'm not even talking to anyone right now so to speak, just sitting by myself, but the computer magically responds as if a real person is there. I'll shut up now. But I'll probably be inspired to write something else that is stupid soon just to keep myself entertained, which is the whole point of everything. stupid idiots, everyone.

heh there are thousands of games like that. yes an imaginative type of music can entertain, but a repetative can make you move.
Now lyrics can do both....

The only reason repetition can make you move better than irregular bizarre shit is because our bodies are too stupidly designed in their ability to cooperate with the brains instructions given to the limbs. I'm telling you these bodies are totally messed up, what was god thinking? It's all wrong, who but an insane lunatic would create any bipedal creature anyway, what a ludicrous design. You're all bothering me, quit talking as if you know what you're talking about (heh heh, it's fun to talk like that guy maddox)

I guess it could be entertaining to pretend to disagree with you. I'm going to go to sleep instead actually, sleep is so pointless but it's certainly better than being awake.

Can he diss himself? What right do you, a mere mortal, have to say who can and cannot diss god? If I was god and I created a bunch of helplessly retarded creatures like human beings I'd expect them to diss me for what I did to them.

It seems a lot of artists are secretive about their techniques/methods/programs/etc. in making their own unique insanely constructed brilliant material. They could take a different approach, like Newton made experiments with elevated platforms to measure gravity's effects. He wrote down the results and SHARED them with other people so ANYONE could repeat the experiment and get the same results. Not that I know anything worth communicating to others, but in the off chance that I should join the masses of artists (idiots) and get my music published and shared in mass for a price that's like hundreds of times the value of the cd's plastic... then I'd probably just tell the damn truth, exactly how everything was made, the techniques and ideas and concepts, so others could duplicate it and extract ideas, take ideas further etc. Or something, nevermind.

Like, what if autechre wrote down all their secrets and techniques and their insight about why they do what they do etc. etc. I bet they could enlighten with words to a similar degree that their music has enlightened. What the hell perspective are they coming from? We have to guess.

Then again, if otto von schirach shared his written musical insight, we'd all become more stupid or go insane.
